I think you should see this magnificent newsletter.

It is from the excellent and highly informative hotel booking site www.france-hotel-guide.com.

I recommend to registrer for their free newsletter (in English for convenience), for as you can see - you get all the current events for the month, also some of the lesser known, which you would perhaps not know of otherwise.

Enough for today.

I would dearly love to go to the flea market.......but since we are going in Aug and beg. of Sept. most likely theres not a chance my husband will take me. Ka-KA
Will someone PLEASE go and fight like mad dogs to get me a mirror soliel or sunburst mirror? Oh PRETTY PLEASE??? It would mean SO much.

[Truffaut]

Susan,
I did get your message about the mirror (although you said "clock" in your PM), but didn't see a thing. I think it's somthing you'd need to pick out on your own. The one's I'm likely to find are going to be at Puces de St-Ouen, and they're going to be 1,000 euros and up.

There are some 20th century examples, but honestly, I just don't look for them.

I get that....love the beautiful cow face on this month's edition!

Did you make it there Truffaut?

[Truffaut]

No, we exercised our better judgment and avoided opening day (the only day we would have been able to go). Perhaps another year!

Truffaut, Sorry about the mix up. I could have written that one insomniac night. The ones that I see here are made in France between 1930-1960. Some earlier. All though it takes the charm out of buying it here (darn), the prices are so much less. The question for me becomes more of a sentimental one. Buy French made here or there and at what cost? Help!
Susan
Again. sorry for the mix-up
Does anyone from the states justify flying to Paris for a long weekend?
That flea market is one I would love to go to. Has anyone ever been to it? For me, it's a question of, plane fare, jet lag and getting it together to shop. Are there longer flea markets at other times of the year, by longer, I mean the whole weekend? Thanks
